I will never understand these "protruding belly" cakes! As a woman who's given birth twice (via caesarian section both times), I can't say there is anything appealing at all about eating such a cake. Booyah, indeed!

Proving once again that skill level and taste are not precisely the same thing. The workmanship on it is pretty good, but ye gods and little purple fishes! the concept is both revolting (who wants a slice of a sliced up belly?) and surreal in the extreme (that's all folks???? just the hand???? holding a sign in utero????? Salvador Dali couldn't have come up with that one! and if he had, he'd have slapped himself).

Maybe this is her last baby, hence the "That's All Folks!" Dutch you say? My fiancee's Mother is Dutch and the eldest of 16 children! Apparently, when their Grandmother had one of the later Uncles,(who practically FELL out), she looked down briefly and said in a less than enthusiastic tone, "Oh, another boy." But none were cesareans. I think that cake is more disgusting than the story I just told!

Who on EARTH would order this? Or serve it? Or not be appalled by it? And the sign means what? Is it a midwife being cruel about women who take their doctor's advice. Lesley B is right, the only place left to go is an episiotomy cake.

I just want you to know that this blog is giving me nightmares. Well, not nightmares necessarily, but weird dreams. I went through your blog a bit yesterday after coming home from a long day working as a nurse at a nursing home. I had a dream about elderly people making cupcake cakes. Aaaaaaaaaargh!

I recently had my son through c-section. After seeing this cake, I'm so bummed that my hubby didn't surprise me with such a creation. The hospital should give these routinely to women who have c-sections. *rolls eyes* That cake is repulsive. Blech.

I'm a labour and delivery nurse and I think this cake is brilliant! We would happily buy this cake and enjoy it at one of our parties-granted we all have warped senses of humour, but you need one to be a nurse, lol! Well done, whoever made this cake!

As my WV I got 'rechly'. Indeed. Actually, I kinda love this utterly gross and repulsive thing, cos I'm thinking it's ideal to serve at a party with all my family and friends who still insist that I should, and/or eventually will, change my mind about being childfree - this might just be what I need to get the message across.

There is nothing about this that celebrates LABOR. A C-section, in general, should not be celebrated, and there is NO labor involved. A bad misguided pun and a very unappetizing cake - on many levels. Disgraceful.

I hope "That's All Folks" doesn't mean that's all there is to it, that a c-section is so easy. I've never had one myself (two vaginal births, one an unassisted home birth), but I'm sure there's nothing easy about it. And even if that's not what they're saying, c-sections are nothing to poke fun at...especially with the rate in America at a whopping and unheard of 33%!!!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
